Re: MP Navigator EX will not open

Hi.  Sorry to open this long dormant thread.  I too cannot open MP Navigator EX.  I have a Mac running OSX 10.13.2.  I opened the Canon Solutions Menu.  But when I click on "Scan/import photos or documents" MP Navigator will not open.  I downloaded the two drivers on Canon USA's website, namely 14.11.5a and ICA driver 4.1.4a, and installed them, but Navigator still will not open.  HELP!!!  Thanks!

Thanks and have a great day!

Thanks!  I have a CanoScan 5600F hooked to directly to my iMac via USB.  The only message I get when Navigator tries to open and quits is "MP Navigator EX quit unexpectedly".  I have used the scanner many many times over the past 3 or 4 years.  It only started acting this wayyesterday.  I did upgrade to Apple's High Sierra OS a week or two ago.  It's version 10.13.2.  As I said, I downloaded the recommended drivers from Canonusa.com.  That didn't solve the problem though.  Thanks for your help!!

Hi Jason, I"m using mac os sierra, 10.13.4 (17E199)

 

Deleted navigator (as I read somewhere I think on the canon website and tried to download some drivers and things but haven't got anywhere. I'm getting this message now:

 

Cannot start the MP Navigator EX. Check the following points.

Thanks for the information. The CanoScan LiDE 100 is an older model that supports Mac OS X up through Yosemite v10.10. Drivers are not available for later versions of Mac OS X.


We hope this helps!

so i can't use it then?

We would encourage you to consider upgrading to a more modern scanner.  Our current photo scanner offerings include the CanoScan LiDE 120 and LiDE 220, each of which supports macOS v10.13.  Click HERE to see our lineup!

 

Glad we could help!
